LUSAKA, Mar. 11 - Youth day is a very important day for both young and old zambians. It brings out memories of the sacrifice and dedication young people showed to liberate this country from colonial rule. We should commend the government for declaring it a national holidays.

LUSAKA, Mar. 11 - Development Partnership International Zambia Chapter is a youth-led, non-profit generating and non-governmental organization which promotes youth social change and development activities at community level. It was founded in 2005 and is one of the youth organizations in Zambia working in partnership with Civil Society for Poverty Reduction (CSPR), Commonwealth Youth Programme (CYP), Office of the President under the Department of Youth, Zambia National AIDS Network (ZNAN) and youth NGOs. The organization is also part and parcel of the Global youth Coalition on HIV and AIDS (GYCA) .The organization has undertaken Advocacy and Networking activities within Zambia at different platforms and the SADC region through the Southern African Youth Festival which was held in Zimbabwe in August, 2006.

LUSAKA, Mar. 11 - The Zambian youths must begin to exploit their inner development potential as they participate in this year’s youth day celebrations. They have to acknowledge that as youths, they belong to the majority of the nations’ most productive age group. They therefore, must develop positive mind styles. This is because they have the basic responsibility  to effectively contribute towards the national development of the country.

LUSAKA, Mars 12 - It is unfortunate that the Zambian government—as reported by the Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC) on March 9, 2007—has found it necessary to establish additional diplomatic missions at a time when so many of our fellow citizens are wallowing in abject poverty. What is prompting us to make such irresponsible decisions? How can this be when the basic needs of education, public health, agriculture, road works and bridges, public safety and security, civil servants and civil service retirees, orphaned and vulnerable children (OVC), and the constitution-making process are not adequately met?
